Worldview
Tomorrow Never Dies
By IAN CAMERON, Ashbourne, England In the latest James Bond film, Skyfall, the British agent operates a Caterpillar excavator, but on a speeding train during an action-packed sequence. Its a pity every film made didnt feature various types of off-highway technology. Perhaps then the industry would be ending the year on a happier note. Cameron Diaz filmed onboard a skid steer loader may have made a positive contribution, Dustin Hoffman with a tunnel boring machine, or how about Mickey Rooney extolling the benefits of Selective Catalytic Reduction technology? Maybe Hulk Hogan discussing the merits of variable geometry turbochargers. Such support from Tinseltown would sweep away the blues. Its easy to generalize, but 2012 has probably been slightly worse than anticipated for most of the construction/ agricultural equipment manufacturers and engine makers. This has been the result of a cocktail with nasty ingredients. There are weak economies pretty much everywhere, not least in Europe, where the end of the financial difficulties seems very distant; prospects in the Middle East are fragile and even in once-supercharged China the economy has cooled. There does, though, seem to be demand from Russia (With Love). Even in Brazil, a star-performing country recently, one truck maker highlighted that the market has been at a lower level in 2012 compared to the previous 12 months because of the transition to Euro 5 and a flatter economy. Adding to the woes is that in many parts of the world, manufacturers costs have been rising steadily. No one seems to be expecting a sudden, rapid upturn in fortunes, but the grim prospect of another recession is (hopefully) slim. Theres plenty of hope for the future and, thankfully, there remains admirable resilience as we end 2012. As they enter 2013, executives will be feeling shaken, not stirred. dpi
Paved With Good Intentions

By MIKE BREZONICK, Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.A. While it might reflect a level of personal naivet, I believe most regulatory bodies have noble intentions when it comes to the standards they establish. The problem most often seems to be that regulators dont really grasp how things work in the real world. The latest example involves E15, the fuel blend of 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline (petrol) that has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and is just beginning to be sold in the U.S.A. E15 contains 5% more ethanol than the E10 blend that has been sold for more than a decade. When used in model year 2001 or newer motor vehicles, E15 is fine. When its used in anything else particularly the millions of small engine products used around the country its actually illegal and will result in significant engine damage. So whats going to prevent people from buying the wrong fuel? According to the EPA, a warning label on the fuel dispensing pumps ought to do it. The agency has also proposed minimum E15 fuel purchases of 15 L at a single transaction the logic being that such a restriction will prevent people from filling the smaller containers that are typically used to refuel small equipment. Seeing as E15 is also generally less expensive than E10 or other blends, its likely that the price is going to distract a lot of people from seeing any label. And as its the first time ever that they cant use the same fuel in their small engines that they use in their car, people are going to make mistakes. Which leaves the small engine and equipment manufacturers in a tough spot. Do they take a hard line against misfueling, thereby gaining the enmity of their customers? Or do they eat the costs, shrinking their bottom lines? No one has any answers yet. dpi

As the demand for new buses in Europe has dropped steadily over the past few years, Volvo Buses has concentrated its production to one plant in Poland to reduce costs.
Volvo Moves Bus Production to Poland

By Bo Svensson
olvo Buses has restructured its European production to its main plant in Wroclaw, Poland. Production at Volvo Buses plant in Sffle, Sweden will stop at the end of June 2013, provided the necessary union negotiations are completed. About 330 permanent employees and about 60 consultants will be affected by the closure. Volvo Buses will retain its aftermarket function and technical support in Sffle, securing support for the companys Nordic customers and offering local employment. The operation will be developed to cover about 50 jobs. The demand for new buses in Europe has dropped steadily over the past few years, paralleled by considerable pressure on prices, particularly
in the Nordic markets, said Hkan Karlsson, president, Volvo Bus Corp. By concentrating the production of complete buses in one single plant, we can reduce our costs and thus reverse our negative profitability trend. Volvo Buses has reported it has considerable excess capacity in its European complete bus plants, even though its market position has improved over the past year. The company expects volume growth in Europe to remain low in the coming years and that price pressure will continue. By focusing all its production in the much larger plant in Poland, Volvo Buses said it expects to achieve the economies of scale essential to tackle the increasingly tough competition in the market. The plant in Poland has
4
four times the capacity of the one in Sweden. Together with the staff in Sffle and Poland we have invested in new city bus models and improved efficiency, but unfortunately the negative development of the European market nonetheless forces us to take this decision regarding our employees in Sffle, Karlsson said. Volvo Buses in Sffle will now begin trade union negotiations on the relocation of production. At the same time we will examine opportunities for finding similar employment within the Volvo Group, Karlsson said. dpi

London Scene
By Ian Cameron
he latest development from emissions control manufacturer Eminox, allows its SCRT (selective catalytic reduction plus continuously regenerating trap) retrofit system to take Euro 2 and 3 buses to emissions levels beyond Euro 5. The company, based in Gainsborough, England, has introduced a new variant of the SCRT technology, developed as part of a pilot project run by Transport for London (TfL). TfL is the local government body responsible for aspects of the transport system in Greater London. Through the project, the Eminox SCRT system demonstrated it can reduce a range of pollutants even when operating in urban environments. According to Eminox, independent tests carried out on a cycle simulating London operating conditions showed reductions of 88% of NOx and 55% of NO2. In addition to the test data, NOx reduction was also measured during normal operation by fitting sensors to a Euro 3 London bus to monitor real-time performance. Average NOx reduction results took place over a period of one month, showing an 87% decrease, which Eminox said was equivalent to an annual NOx reduction of more than 700 kg per bus. This demonstrates without a doubt that SCR-based systems can work effectively in urban environments, said Kathye Henderson, marketing manager at Eminox. It also shows how older vehicles can be upgraded and used long into the future, as the need to reduce emissions, particularly from transport, increases. The SCRT system combines a diesel particulate filter and SCR technology. It is designed to retrofit heavy-duty vehicles and is currently

being used to reduce NOx and PM in cleanup programs in Spain, Belgium and England. Making the new SCRT system different to the previous generation system is its ability to reduce NO2 by more than 50% in addition to its improved NOx reduction, Eminox said. The new SCRT system operates on the same principles as its predecessor, but uses a different type of SCR catalyst and different calibrations in the control system. The requirements for the London project presented new challenges, as it was required to specifically target NO2 reduction as well as maintaining other emissions levels. This, Eminox said, was key to driving the develop-
ment of a new generation of SCRT technology. The new SCRT system required new catalyst formulations along with extensive system calibration. While Eminox stressed there is additional work to be done to ensure that these types of reductions can be achieved on other vehicles, it said the results show a breakthrough in emissions technology. The company said this offers hope that older vehicles can be upgraded and used long into the future, as the need to reduce emissions, particularly from transport, increases. dpi

Groundbreaking took place at the new site in Nangang, Tianjin, in August. Shell has been active in Chinas lubricants market, acquiring three blending plants in 2006 when it bought a 75% share in Beijing Tongyi Petroleum Chemical Co. Ltd. and Tongyi Petroleum Chemical Co. Ltd., which produce and market the Monarch brand of lubricants. Shell has built blending plants in Tianjin, Zhapu (Zhejiang) and Zhuhai (Guangdong). It has also established a specialist lubricants technology facility at the Zhuhai site, and recently announced another in Shanghai to be opened in 2013.

rowth in China continues to drive demand for lubricants, with industry related projects such as mining, construction and steel production fueling the boom. According to industry estimates, the Asia Pacific region is pushing global growth in lubricant demand. It is forecast that by 2020, the region will represent more than 50% of all demand. Almost half of that growth is projected to come from China, which is expected to overtake the United States as the largest market for lubricants by 2015. One of the latest additions to the lubricants sector in China came from Shell, which recently announced plans to build a new lubricants blending plant in Tianjin. The plant will supply a range of products to northern China, supplementing Shells six existing plants on the Chinese mainland.
supplying a range of consumer, industrial, marine and transport lubricants. The company also has blending plants in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and has established one of its three global storage hubs in Hong Kong to serve the adjacent blending plants. Shell said it expects mining and construction to spearhead industry demand as a fifth of all construction projects globally are soon expected to be in China. In addition, consumer demand will be driven by the number of Chinese vehicles, which is likely to triple in the next 10 years, Shell said. dpi

ypically, Caterpillar makes its annual top-level personnel announcements sometime in October. This year was no different as the Peoria, Illinois, U.S.A.-based manufacturer made an extensive series of personnel moves following the companys fall board meeting. This time around the announcements included two new group presidents, including a new head of the engine and power systems group, a new president for Perkins, a raft of new vice presidents, and the shift of Cats office in Hong Kong to Singapore. The last move first. Some analysts have already termed the move from Hong Kong, as a retreat from or downsizing in China. Caterpillar said, not so, adding that the change was done both for cost reasons, as well as Singapore offering a more central, pan-Asian base of operations. Caterpillar still has an office in Beijing as well as numerous facilities in China. As for the personnel moves, at the top of org chart, group presidents Rich
Lavin and Gerard Vittecoq are both retiring; Lavin as the group president for Construction Industries & Growth Markets and Vittecoq as group president for Energy & Power Systems. Lavin will be replaced by current group president and chief financial officer Ed Rapp in Hong Kong. Rapp will oversee the move to Singapore of the Construction Industries group, where Rapp will be based in his new role, effective Jan. 1, 2013. Meanwhile, Solar Turbines President Jim Umpleby, who is also a Cat vice president, takes Vittecoqs spot as group president for Energy & Power Systems. The Energy & Power Systems group includes Industrial Power Systems & Growth Markets Division, Large Power Systems & Growth Markets Division, Marine & Petroleum Power Division, Electric Power Division, Progress Rail Division and Solar Division. Umpleby was named a Caterpillar vice president and president of Solar Turbines in 2010. He joined Solar in 1980 as an associate engineer. Over
the course of the next decade with Solar, he held a number of engineering and sales positions including assignments in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 1994, he became the director of power systems operations and facility manager of Solars Kearny Mesa, California, U.S.A. gas turbine packaging facility. In 1997, he became a Solar vice president with responsibility for customer services and in 2000 was named Solar vice president for Turbomachinery Products. In 2005, Umpleby assumed responsibilities as a general manager for global services for Caterpillar, a Peoria-based assignment in Caterpillars Product Support Division. He was named Solars vice president for oil and gas in 2007. The rest of the moves shake out as follows: Perkins: Gwenne Henricks, the current Perkins president, and Tana Utley, currently Caterpillars chief technology officer, will swap roles. Henricks

ZF and LiuGong have launched a new joint venture in Liuzhou for the production of a line of wheel loader axles dedicated to the Chinese market.
Partners
Chinas LiuGong and Germanys ZF establish second powertrain joint venture
Once More
hinese construction equipment manufacturer LiuGong and German-based driveline and chassis technology specialist ZF have established their second joint venture in China. ZF Liuzhou Axle Co. Ltd. was formed to produce wheel loader axles especially tailored for the requirements of the Chinese market. A team of engineers from ZF head quarters, LiuGong and ZF China have been working together to upgrade the existing axle models for LiuGong wheel loaders since October 2011, said Hermann Beck, head of the ZF Business Unit Off-Highway Systems. These joint efforts brought about a modular axle concept which, besides the standard version with dry disc brake (Basic Line), offers the possibility to supply a new, even more sophisticated techni-
cal solution with wet multidisc brake (High Line) using a large portion of common parts. ZF said the modular concept for the new axle range will greatly reduce production costs, resulting in a technically reliable and favorably priced product. In the long run, the new joint venture company is expected to employ 190 people. Production is scheduled to reach 3300 axles by 2014 and increase to more than 30 000 units per year by 2018, the companies said. The joint venture will supply LiuGong and the open market. Since 1995, ZF and LiuGong have been operating a joint venture company in Liuzhou, one of most important industrial cities in the south of China. The company employs 300 people and serves the joint venture partner
LiuGong and other third party customers with construction machinery transmissions and axles. ZF Liuzhou Axle Co. Ltd. has been launched in the same location. During the past years, China has experienced a rapid development of construction machinery, said Dr. Stefan Sommer, CEO of ZF. More than half of the worldwide wheel loaders are produced in China. A considerable amount of machines are also being exported abroad from there. The new venture will benefit from the many successful years of cooperation already between LiuGong and ZF and by further extending this beneficial cooperation, we will continue to set many things in motion on the fiercely competitive construction machinery market, said Wang Xiao Hua, chairman of LiuGong. dpi

ments achieved breakthroughs in products and sales, notably for its truck-mounted concrete pumps, which successfully entered the German market. It added that the export of Zoomlions 800-tonne crawler cranes to Iran also set the record for the largest tonnage crawler crane exported from China. However, Zoomlion has been also keen to emphasize the technological and research & development advances it said it had made recently. In the first half of 2012, the company said its patent applications grew by 248% compared to the same period last year. It cited a technology linkup with German crane maker Jost, saying that since the start of the agreement, all of Zoomlions technical performance indicators have reached international advanced levels. Its newly developed flat top tower crane, the T320-16, was also allowed to enter the Singapore market. Focusing on other research and development efforts, Zoomlion launched a new generation of truck-mounted pumps. The new pump incorporates six fold-arm technology with a 63 m
everal major Chinese construction equipment makers are hastening the pace of their overseas expansions and partnerships, lured by the need to capture enhanced technology and to escape the worst effects of home market economic headaches. Within China, the downward economic trend, partly fueled by the tightening of credit availability and reduced infrastructure investment, has prompted companies to ramp up their presence outside of China through acquisitions and investments. The results for some Chinese construction companies have been greatly increased by overseas sales, access to more sophisticated technology and the expansion of their offshore service and dealer networks. Typifying the trend is Chinese construction equipment manufacturer Zoomlion. It recently announced that in the first half of 2012 it recorded rapid growth in overseas sales, representing a rise of 27.31% compared to the same period last year. The company said its core seg-
arm and Zoomlion claims it is the worlds longest track-mounted crane with five axles. The company also said the ZE1250E large-tonnage crawler excavator was approved by relevant authorities in China and is in use. However, it is not all positive news from Zoomlion. Examining the operational risks for the second half of 2012, the company said the weak global economic recovery, the slowdown of domestic growth and overcapacity of construction machinery manufacturing will lead to intensified competition and may affect company sales volume and profitability. It also noted credit risks, saying that due to its large customer base, the credit status of different customers could affect business expansion and the future recovery of debt. Further evidence of the Chinese willingness to partner with outside companies to enhance their technological credentials is the recent announcement of a deal between Chinas automotive and equipment maker Weichai Power Co., Ltd. and Germanys forklift, warehouse equipment and industrial trucks manufacturer Kion Group GmbH, whose brands include Linde, Still, Fenwick, OM Still, Baoli and Voltas. This partnership is an important step in our five-year strategy to globalize and expand our business activities into new markets and products, said Tan Xuguang, chairman and chief executive officer of Weichai Power. With this partnership, we will leverage Kions strong position and utilize growth opportunities for Kion and Weichai Power to further enhance the competitive edge of both companies.

Chinese engine and equipment maker Weichai Power Co., Ltd. and German forklift, warehouse equipment and industrial truck manufacturer Kion Group GmbH, have made a deal in which Weichai has acquired a significant stake in Kion, whose products include Bailo forklift trucks sold in China, Eastern Europe, and Central and South America.
The companies said the core of the partnership is a close cooperation in the field of material handling and hydraulic drive technology. Under the agreement which is estimated to be the largest Chinese direct investment in Germany Weichai Power will acquire a 25% stake in Kion and a 70% majority in Kions hydraulics business. Hydraulics will be operated and managed as an independent company named Linde Hydraulics, with Kion retaining a stake. Lindes hydraulics products will continue to be branded under the Linde Hydraulics trademark. The business plan for Linde Hydraulics includes relocating the existing hydraulics activities in Nilkheim, Aschaffenburg, to a new hydraulics plant nearby and increasing capacity at other hydraulics production sites. LiuGong, one of Chinas most ambitious construction equipment companies, has also continued to grow its international links. In September, it said the company and ZF agreed a joint venture to produce wheel loader axles tailored for the requirements of the Chinese market.

By Wolfgang Fleischfresser ehicles with combustion engines combined with electric drives are more and more common these days, and the future seems to aim to fully electrically driven transport equipment. But what is the situation in other sectors of machinery, such as agricultural, earth moving, construction, or industrial? Are highefficiency electric motors with inverter controls able to replace traditional mechanical or hydraulic transmissions even in these sectors? Nearly every day it is possible to see new machines with electric drives. At the recent GaLaBau exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany, a new slope mower was shown that had an electric transmission in place of the more conventional hydrostatic drive. If this will be a success remains to be seen. There is no perceivable benefit in terms of weight or space because the batteries have very similar dimensions as the hydraulic tank, combustion engine and hydraulic pump. The battery capacity is relatively limited and does not provide a full day of work in a professional setting. Perhaps most significantly, there is no real benefit in terms energy saving. Electric motors in this type of application need a high-speed reduction in order to efficiently. Speed reduction is possible with worm angle gears, which are the best solution for reasons of space and cost. But the result is an efficiency loss of more than 30%. Another new field of application for electric drive systems is fruit harvesting machines and elevators. These machines are equipped with low-loss 48 V tubular batteries, which because of their infinitely variable speed regulation and automatic interval control,

assure long running time for the twoor four-wheel drives. Here the electric drive and control systems are truly innovative and offer real benefits of energy efficiency. The ac electric motors are operated through commonly available controls, which come at a reasonable cost. The motors are built on high efficiency planetary wheel drive gearboxes, which allow high radial loads an important factor when the machine is operating on a slope. Over the last several years, forklift trucks and other material handling/ logistics machines have demonstrat-
ed their capability to operate profitably using ac-driven wheel drives in place of hydraulic drive systems or dc electric motors. While dc motors offer very good efficiency, they are somewhat more expensive because of the precision required in their machining and assembly. On the other hand, ac motors are much more simple, need less maintenance, and offer the same benefits as dc motors when it comes to torque, speed control, efficiency and electric or inverter control. Other advantages of ac motors are their reduced consumption of power during
Large logistic transporters, such as this 72.6 tonne capacity machine, use multiple electric wheel drives that provide high precision in directional drive and positioning.

An accompanying illustration shows a closed circuit with the speed control system of a large mining reclaimer. The hybrid system with inverter control of the electric motor improves the repeatability and low-speed precision control of the excavators rotary shovel. In this example, the electric motor has a power of 55 kW and the fixed displacement hydraulic pump has a nominal flow of 280 L/min and a working pressure of 210 bar. With the inverter control, there is an energy saving of up to 40% compared to a conventional system and this means a reduction of approximately 24.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. The other circuit illustration shows an open circuit of a speed control of a processing machine. The pump is run as long as necessary and the inverter control contributes to improve operability, as well as controllability at lower speed. With a variable displacement pump there is an energy saving of up to 60% compared to a traditional system. It seems likely that electric drives will gain greater application in lieu of traditional hydraulics assuming electric motors and actuators continue in their development of higher efficiency, less weight, smaller dimensions and lower costs. But in the interim, hydraulic drives and systems, when combined with advanced electric controls and other components, already offer significant advantages over traditional hydraulic solutions. dpi

alternating working cycles, as well as the nearly unlimited time of duty. Big logistic transporters and automatic guided vehicles (AGV) used in the assembly, painting and maintenance of aircrafts, large trucks, railway trains, wind power nacelles and others, are operating with high efficient ac drives combined with special planetary wheel drive gearboxes, such as seen on the wheel assemblies of 72.6 tonne capacity transporters. The multiple wheel drives offer a maximum of precision in directional drive as well as positioning. In industrial applications, hydraulics nearly disappeared on machine tools, woodworking machines, plastic injection machinery and others. As in certain vehicle drive systems, the electric motors and controls offer efficiency advantage over hydraulic systems. But how is the situation when we come to heavy-duty machinery, such as large excavators, marine cranes, presses and recycling shredders? In these applications, the demand is for high power, which means high oil flow and oil pressure for actuators, a situation where no electric motor could be installed or would be technically suitable. Even in these applications, however, there has been some technical movement with the development of new electrohydraulic hybrid systems. In an electrohydraulic hybrid system, an electric motor drives a hydraulic pump, which is operated by a controller similar to those used in the previous appliDiesel Progress International
cations. This controls the speed of the electric motor in accordance with the power requirement in order to control the discharge flow from the hydraulic pump. This configuration helps to minimize power consumption as hydraulic pressure is retained while the actuators are at a standstill. The result is significant energy savings achieved, because the machine can operate effectively with a minimum necessary power consumption, as well as through reduction of pressure on the hydraulic circuit. It even allows, in conjunction with a power regenerative system, to reuse the braking energy from a load side. In addition, the fluid temperature is reduced, which leads to improved repeatability. The loss in the pressure on the hydraulic circuit is also decreased, so a higher hydraulic output is obtained from a given input power. The electrohydraulic hybrid system includes, principally, a standard pump intended for open circuits, while special pumps (with suction valves) are available also for closed circuits. This allows the hybrid system to be applied to a broad range of hydraulic circuits. The pumps can be of fixed or variable displacement such as with two displacement settings so the necessary drive torque can be lower and the necessary electric motor can be smaller.
This is the schematic of an open circuit on a processing machine. With a variable displacement pump there is an energy saving of up to 60% compared to a traditional system.

or many manufacturers of construction equipment, their market is essentially the world. Sales into other regions have been the hallmark of some of the largest manufacturers for decades. For medium-sized and smaller machine producers, export sales allowed them to survive the worst of the recession. With that in mind, heres a brief overview of some of the key global markets. In Europe, the modest recovery of 2010 picked up its pace in 2011, with the market growing by a respectable 23% to nearly 125 000 units. Yet from the beginning of 2012, caution was being urged with regards to the likely sustainability of this return to growth. In Off-Highway Researchs last Annual Review, published in April, a decline of 1% was forecast. Now the outlook has become a little more pessimistic. After detailed interviews with leading European manufacturers and key country dealers, Off-Highway Research has revised its 2012 forecast to a decline in sales of 3%. Furthermore, the forecast for 2013 has also been revised downward. It is now an-
ticipated there will be a further 5% decline in sales to a market of 113,589 units, eroding more than 40% of the gains made in 2011. This is in spite of the fact the to-
tal market is still significantly below the long-term average. Over the past five years, including only one peak year in 2007 and the subsequent sharp drop in sales, the

average European market has been 137 161 units. The 10-year average, which shows the effects of the current crisis mitigated by previous buoyancy, is higher still at 146 267 units. Nevertheless, the likelihood of the improvement to date becoming a complete recovery by returning to these levels now seems to have faded once more into the distance. The reasons for this pessimism are depressingly familiar. They include continued uncertainty caused by the sovereign debt crises of various European nations, fears for the fate of the Eurozone itself, the subsequent fragility of the continents leading financial institutions and the continued absence of credit. To these must be added the unwillingness or inability of governments to embrace infrastructure investment as a catalyst for economic growth, depressed housing markets and the resultant free fall in consumer and business confidence. In the off-highway equipment sector, last years replacement of rental equipment and the subsequent reduction in workloads, combined with still fresh memories of the consequences of overstocked fleets in 2008, have encouraged purchasers to once again postpone investment decisions. Having had to offload surplus machinery once already in order to generate the cash flow needed to survive, there is little desire to repeat the procedure. continued on page 32

Yet the picture is not universally bleak. Norway, and to a lesser extent Denmark, are on their way toward considerable expansion in 2012. Three other countries, including France which accounts for more than 20% of total sales are forecast to see an increase in demand. From a European perspective, however, this is more than offset by the fact that the remaining countries are set to see no growth or a decline. This includes a 3% decline forecast for both Germany and the U.K., which between them account for nearly 50% of total demand and continue to set the tone for the market as a whole. Looking to 2013, nine of the 16 countries covered by Off-Highway Research are forecast to expand. The
problem is that most of these countries are looking at single-digit expansion from an exceptionally low base. Even the anticipated 5% growth in Ireland amounts to only an additional 26 units in the total market. There should also be special mention of Italy, which is set to have the dubious distinction of five consecutive years of decline. The regular refrain that the bottom must by now have been reached will be tested again in 2013. Following two years of consecutive decline after the global economic crisis of 2008, the construction equipment industry in India made a sharp recovery in 2010, spurred by the strong domestic demand generated by ongoing infrastructure development projects. Construction equipment sales were

up 45% to 54 793 units, versus 37 860 units sold in 2009. This growth trend continued through 2011 as sales peaked at 72 162 units, a rise of 22%. But signs of economic mismanagement and political indecisions on major policy matters have become more visible in all sectors of the economy and it seems unlikely a similar rise will be seen again in the near term. For the first half of this year, the total market declined by nearly 4% compared to the same period in 2011. Current trends indicate a marginal decline in the industry and demand is likely to decrease by about 1% for the year. The structure of the market remained largely unchanged with backhoe loaders, crawler excavators and mobile cranes continuing as the leading volume products in the first six months of 2012, accounting for 84% of the market. That compares to 83% in the corresponding period of 2011. The construction equipment market in India will be driven largely by the planned development of infrastructure under the ongoing 12th Five Year Plan (April 2012 to March 2017). The Indian government has broadly planned for an investment of nearly $1 trillion on infrastructure. This investment is the highest ever for any Five Year Plan and should have a very positive impact on the construction equipment industry. However, the construction equipment industry is feeling the effects of what is now popularly being termed as policy paralysis in the union government. For over two years, the ruling coalition has been mired in political and financial controversies that have visibly slowed the economy and retarded progress on several infrastructure projects. The efforts of many state governments that are pursuing their growth plans resolutely have offered some respite. Despite the near-term challenges, Off-Highway Research remains bullish about the long-term prospects of
forecast2013
the construction equipment market in India. It forecasts sales of construction equipment will reach 71 255 units this year, which is likely to rise to 114 165 units by the end of 2016. Indias neighbor, China, suffered through a severe downturn in demand for the first six months of this year. There had been some corrections in previous years, but the record year-on-year fall of 37% in the first half represents real depression and has put great pressure on the industry as whole. With the enormous expansion experienced over the last decade, the industry has invested massively in the expansion of production capacity and the promotion of sales, but now every company that has done so desperately needs to earn a rapid return on investment simply to survive. Following stagnation in market demand since the second quarter of 2011, the industry at the beginning of this year had confidently expected a return to normality, even though there was also fear of a continued downturn. Nobody, however, had expected to see such a reversal in market fortunes, the most severe in history. If 2011 was seen as a correction in demand following unsustainable growth, the market now seems to have gone into free fall. A tightening of the monetary policy that has been in place since 2010 has had a direct bearing on this unforeseen outcome. After the earlier substantial fiscal stimulus had come to an end, the central government turned to tighten the money supply to control inflation. While the industry expected this would have run its course by the middle of 2011, fiscal tightening actually continued into the first half of 2012. The result was that it blunted the risk of inflation, but it also had a negative impact on the economy as a whole and the construction equipment industry has been very badly affected. The government realized the overheated level of investment needed to be regulated so as to reduce the excessive production capacity that had been built up. There was also a need for a change in the structure of those industries that could not sustain their long-term development. The high growth rate of the Chinese economy over the last decade, which essentially had been characterized by heavy investment and foreign trade, has now come to an end. The investment boom has cooled over the last two years, and the number of new projects has been limited. As a result, demand for construction equipment, which had reached an all-time high because of the large number of new projects that had been suddenly initiated in 2009, has dropped to much lower levels. On the supply side, the manufacturing industry had been encouraged by the ever-growing market to increase its production capacity, which now far outstrips demand. continued on page 34

To win customers, extremely easy financing terms were offered. The lean profit margins that were being earned did not allow much room for lowering prices. Many customers, in particular those new entrants to the construction market, were blinded by the aggressive promotional activities of suppliers or they just overlooked the risks involved. While the industry continued to promote sales in such a cavalier fashion, the slowdown in demand and the lack of new work resulted in a huge number of machines lying idle and enormous levels of stock remained unsold at the end of 2011. As the expectation for a quick return on investment in machine purchases has now evaporated, market confidence has been seriously eroded. Therefore, it is the slowing of investment activity that has brought about this unprecedented fall in the market. Promotional activities to generate additional sales are not having their desired effect. Instead, distributors have become reluctant to offer finance-based promotions that may further increase their exposure and manufacturers are now prioritizing fiDiesel Progress International
nancial stability rather than continued headlong growth. All companies are short of working capital, and it will be a difficult time before there is a return to what the industry would classify as normality. The major manufacturers, some of which began to reduce the number of employees at the end of 2011, have been trying to raise capital from the stock markets, but the gloomy economic outlook makes it almost impossible to successfully launch new issues. Among the smaller companies and the newer market entrants, some have had to leave the sector altogether. There remains some good news. In the year to date, exports have continued to show strong growth of 15 to 30%, depending on the product sector, which to some extent has offset the decline in the domestic market. Yet manufacturers still cannot pin too much hope on their overseas sales. In the domestic market, investment input showed signs of recovery in the second quarter in the context of the new policy to sustain economic growth. This may help improve buyers confidence, but the market itself is un-
likely to undergo any form of strong recovery in the short term given the enormous volume of machines, all of which are chasing too little work. In the year to date, the market has been much weaker than had been forecast, although investment activities have shown signs of recovery in the second quarter. This may help improve the industrys confidence for the future, but it would be too optimistic to anticipate a quick recovery in equipment demand, as there are such large numbers of machines already in the market. The priority of the industry is now to minimize the risk of bad debts that are arising because of the growing number of customer defaults. The large volumes of used equipment that were taken in the previous year by distributors still need to be sold, and this could well have an adverse impact on sales of new machines. On a year-on-year basis, sales are expected be stable in the second half and for the full year may fall by 30% over 2011. Future market demand will largely depend on economic policy, which is challenged by the potential risk of inflation and the need to sustain growth at a certain level, so there is an uncertain outlook for the medium term. The prevailing current view is that the market will recover in 2013 from the current depressed levels, with continued investment input. However, one cannot expect another major fiscal stimulus package that may result in renewed inflation. Therefore, the expected growth next year may be seen as a correction after the current deep downturn, while there are different views as to whether or not growth will accelerate in 2014. Modest growth may continue in the longer term, stimulated by new investment and the need to replace existing machine fleets. However, without the stimulus of major investment growth, it is unlikely the market could ever return to the heights of demand experienced in 2011 in the next five years. dpi

Bright Agricultural Outlook Could Boost Brazils Economy

he Brazilian economy has been suffering from the global economic crisis, which has been affecting the demand for Brazilian goods, especially mineral commodities. Also, a series of internal shortcomings, including a lack of industrial competitiveness, weak infrastructure and lack of investment, has diminished growth, principally within the industrial sector. A concerned Brazilian government has been seeking to revive the economy with measures such as lower interest rates, currency devaluation, tax incentives and investments in infrastructure. Nevertheless, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is expected to increase only 1.3% in 2012, a very low level given the countrys standards and needs. Still, while specific and limited, the measures taken by the Brazilian government should have some effect and a growth rate of around 3% in 2013 is expected, with a stronger revival only in 2014, global economy permitting. The highlight in this scenario is the agricultural sector, due to its excelDiesel Progress International

lent prospects for 2013. The crisis in the world grain supply, caused by the drought in the U.S. and some regions in Europe and Russia, has created a good market opportunity for the Brazilian agricultural sector. The U.S. is the worlds largest corn producer, with a total production of around 40% of the global harvest. It is estimated that this years shortfall is 99.8 to 108.9 million tonnes and, consequently, the initial estimate by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture of 344.7 continued on page 38

Brazilian farmers are expecting in the future. The crops being planted in Brazil now will be potentially the largest ever, with a record planted area and an estimated growth of 1.1 million hectares for the first harvest of soy, corn and cotton. Moreover, meteorologists forecast the climate phenomenon El Nio is looming, and while it is expected to be short and not especially intense, it should still benefit growing conditions, especially in South Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The increased planted area, higher technology/mechanization levels and favorable climatic conditions are setting up to make the soy harvest the biggest ever and Brazil the worlds largest soy producer. Also, high international prices and more favorable exchange rates maintained by the government will cause prices to be fairly high. These factors should result in income growth and should encourage farmers to increase the crop area next year, especially since the downturns in the northern hemisphere yields should keep the worlds agricultural commodity stocks low. This will keep prices at high levels, resulting in good profits for the sector. Sugarcane is another important crop in the region. This sector is on its way to recovery after two poor harvests brought about by climate problems and low investment. It is expected that we will see a 10% rise in sugarcane production. Should this scenario be confirmed and the global conditions not deteriorate significantly, the combination of these factors will lead to growing sales of farm machinery. We estimate that tractor sales should be 5 to 7% higher and harvester sales to grow between 14 and 18%. This will also bring economic benefits beyond the agricultural sector, such as increased sales of trucks and other logistical products and services. The agricultural sector will continue to play an extremely important role in the economic recovery of Brazil in 2013. dpi
Sales of tractors (above) and harvesters have shown seasonal variation, but the trends going forward appear generally positive.
million tonnes has plummeted 30% to somewhere between 236 and 245 million tonnes. In the case of soy, the situation is slightly more comfortable because while the U.S. is the worlds largest single producer and is very important, South American production (Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay) is a very large contributor. Should the harvest be a good one (which is expected), South America is in position to make up for the large part of the North American production shortfall. With the price increase of agricultural commodities, especially corn and soy on the international market, Brazilian farmers are glimpsing at the possibility of obtaining high profit levels in the next grain harvest that is now being planted. Despite the weaker soy harvest due to the drought that has devastated South Brazil this year and was considerably damaging to the regional economy, in general the 2012
harvest was quite favorable in the rest of the country. This permitted significant gains for farmers, mainly in the central region, where in addition to a good soy crop, the favorable rainfall distribution provided a record second corn harvest. This is being reflected in the inputs markets as well. Fertilizer sales are up 4.8% this year compared to last years record sales. In addition to investment in technology, Brazilian farmers are also investing in improving and expanding farm machinery. There was a 0.5% rise in the number of farm tractors by August, while harvesters showed a 7.7% increase. If we look more closely at the figures, we see that sales are rising more in recent months. Tractor sales figures in August were 9.8% higher than in the same month of 2011 and harvesters are 17.9% ahead of the same period last year. This growth shows signs of what

Growth On An Uneven Pace Between Mature, Developing And Emerging Markets

By Kamini Patel
lthough the world markets are still bathed in doom and gloom, manufacturers remain cautiously optimistic about the future. This year the road has remained rocky, but most customers, suppliers and other market participants have survived and are driving their businesses forward despite these uncertain conditions. After a fairly strong 2010 (GDP growth of 5.1%), the global market has been growing more slowly with GDP forecasts predicting a decline to 3.3% by the end of 2012. The latest economic forecast from IHS Global Insight and the International Monetary Fund predict continuing lack luster global growth of 3.6% in 2013. So, we are now in the eighth quarter after the Great Recession of 2009 and the Power Systems Research teams are restating our prediction from last year that we all get
used to working in an environment of slow growth and more frequent minirecessions in the developed world. The political and economic tensions within the Eurozone are expected to remain high until at least mid-2013 as governments continue to address their debt challenges by making deep austerity cuts, cutting stimulus spending and generating income by raising taxes. Additionally, inflation and high unemployment have driven down demand. Delving deeper, we see the pace of economic growth will continue to remain uneven between the mature (1.9%), developing (4.8%) and emerging markets (6.1%). This growth in the emerging markets was lower than originally expected and is due to downward revisions in India and China. This will have a significant negative impact on world trade and in particular imports and exports leading
to considerable spare capacity in the supply chain. However, companies that have survived the Great Recession have adapted to the new normal. They have healthy balance sheets and a laser sharp focus on maintaining profitability and cash flow. If investing at all, companies are making low risk, low cost, cautious investments. These include taking existing products to new markets and channels, increasing exports, improving aftermarket coverage, new research and development partnerships and more intimate collaborations with competitors. As examples of these trends, MercedesBenz is manufacturing cars at the Nissan facility in Mexico and Cummins is now supplying its own engines for Navistar trucks in North America. Competitive rivalry is expected to increase in line with the slowdown in

quotas. For example, DAF will be manufacturing trucks in Brazil with 60% local content or MTU manufacturing in Brazil with 50% local content. As partnerships and alliances form across regions, the challenge of combining two diverse organizational cultures is becoming an important factor slowing effective decision making. Lets look at the numbers to make sense of these challenges and market trends. Power Systems Research has tracked clients, who have repeatedly subscribed to our market information databases and services over many years and we see that they consistently outperform the Dow Jones index. In our opinion, companies that base their investment decisions and strategic growth plans on factual data have been more sure footed in executing their strategies for growth. For engines greater than 2 L, the global market growth rate remains relatively flat over the next five years. The segments with the best expectation of growth are light commercial vehicles, medium and heavy trucks, industrial, construction and power generation. On the brighter side, production forecasts for diesel engines greater than 2 L remains strong at a five-year compounded growth rate of 7%. The highest growth is expected in the on-highway market with more modest growth expected in construction, power generation, agriculture and the marine segments. Engine horsepower per unit is also growing at a higher rate across the world especially in the BRIC and emerging countries. The off-highway segments construction, power generation and agriculture are all affected by a shift from diesel to alternative fuels and power sources (electric, hybrid and natural gas engines). The lower growth in the marine segment is due to overcapacity in the commercial marine propulsion mainly in China. When we consider region of manufacture of diesel engines, production continues to shift toward the emerging markets. Asia Pacific represented 30% of the total diesel market in 2000 and is

market growth as everyone fights for the same slice of the pie. There are already many innovative marketing programs introduced to maintain market share and to tie in end customers. These include providing credit facilities to purchase their products and developing aftersales services and tools. Most manufacturers are branding and bundling products with service packages to lower the total cost of ownership through fuel economy, extended service intervals and reduced down time. Designing products to im-
prove fuel economy and lower CO2 output is driving every engine, equipment and component manufacturers product plan. The other key challenge as competitors glocalize is the impact of regulation whether its emissions, financial or related to regional exports and duties. Products are designed with common components, and may be assembled in several different facilities for a diverse global customer base. These need to pass the hurdles of local certification and satisfy local

However, a high proportion of products are built in Asia China, India and Japan by both local and global producers.

close to 50% today. No surprises here. Today, most global producers are building products for both the highly regulated and unregulated markets. These engines are designed to incorporate local content to reduce excise duty and taxes. Currently, the engines produced in the unregulated markets cannot be sold into the regulated mar-
kets. However the gap will narrow in the next five years as standards harmonize across the markets. Global customers can thus leverage their technology know how to extend the reach of their products.

In the off-highway market, Caterpillar maintains the No. 1 position, but Cummins, China Yitou Group, Deere and Weichai are close contenders for the top position. A similar picture is observed in the global on-highway market for diesel engines greater than 2 L displacement (excluding passenger cars). The top three players are expected to
maintain their global position Cummins, Ford and Isuzu. In summary, the outlook for global engine production remains stable. We expect higher growth in the emerging markets versus the developed and mature markets. The survivors of the Great Recession have adapted to face the challenges of the uncertain future. They are holding on to their cash and
making low risk investment decisions. We are expecting the rocky road to continue for the rest of 2012 and first part of 2013. So get ready for another safari as companies collaborate and huddle together for protection. To survive these changing market conditions, it makes sense to look at the numbers to find opportunities for growth. dpi

A 2000 tonne XCMG crawler crane working at the Sinochem Quanzhou Huian refinery construction project.

he butterfly effect that facet of chaos theory which posits that a butterfly flapping its wings in China can result in hurricanes in North America has never seemed so apt. Because the effects of the dramatic economic slowdown that has occurred in China this year turned out to be one of the most significant and reoccurring stories of the last 12 months. So much so that it overshadowed just about everything else that happened in the opinion of the editorial board of Diesel Progress and has been named as Diesel Progress International 2012 Newsmaker Of The Year. To review, the Newsmaker of the Year can be anything a person, a company, a technology, a trend that was the most significant and created the most news throughout the year. The short version is, what are people talking about? In this case, what we found when we looked through the coverage in our magazines, on our websites and in other venues especially information put out by the companies in our industry that concerns with the continued on page 48

state of affairs in China was among the most frequently mentioned subjects. As Off-Highway Researchs David Phillips reported in a recent Global Trends column in Diesel Progress International, while there have been some corrections in previous years, the record year-on-year fall of 37% in the first half (of 2012) represents real depression and has put great pressure on the industry as a whole. That pressure is being felt by the manufacturers of engines and equipment around the world, many of whom relied on the Chinese market to remain profitable during the Great Recession of 2008-2009. Its also been reflected by the comments from Caterpillar and Cummins in recent public statements where each altered their previous financial forecasts for this year and 2013, in large measure because of whats been occurring in China. In its most recent financial report, Caterpillar said it had seen lower than expected growth in China, adding while we have reduced production in China substantially, we have not seen an improvement in sales yet, and, as a result, the inventory reduction in China is slower than we had expected. Cat also said that while it remained very positive about China for the long term, our plans for the remainder of 2012 reflect a continued orderly ramp down of production that considers our entire supply chain in China. Given
the current low rate of sales and the production ramp down, it will likely take the rest of 2012 and continuing into 2013 to reduce inventory to levels more in line with sales. Engine and component manufacturer Cummins also sounded the alarm, noting demand in China has weakened in most end markets, while Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. shut down its Hefei, China, excavator plant for two weeks a month for three months because of slumping machine sales. Its interesting to note that unlike many regions of the world, Chinas economy was statistically positive, recording a 2012 GDP that is likely to finish between +7.6 and +8% results that would be cause for wild celebration in most places. But if the slump in China has seemed more severe, its because the country had been seeing mostly double-digit growth for nearly a decade, with the machinery industry going along for the ride. But that ride has slowed significantly and isnt likely to change directions any time soon, despite the governments efforts to jump-start the economy with a 123 billion investment in 60 infrastructure projects, including roads, ports and airports announced in September. A combination of factors, including too much production capacity built up over the last decade, too much machinery in the pipeline
48
and too many financially stressed suppliers remain major headwinds. Future market demand will largely depend on economic policy, which is challenged by the potential risk of inflation and the need to sustain growth at a certain level, so there is an uncertain outlook for the medium term, Phillips said. Currently, the prevailing view is that the market will recover in 2013 from the current depressed levels, with continued investment input. However, one cannot expect another major fiscal stimulus package that may result in renewed inflation. While the economic conditions generated the most interest, it wasnt the only news out of China this year. Most significant were a pair of acquisitions that marry Western technological prowess with Chinese manufacturing capabilities. In late September, Austrian diesel engine specialist Steyr Motors GmbH was purchased by Chinese investment group Phoenix Tree HSC Investment (Wuhan) Co Ltd (PTC). More information about that deal can be found elsewhere in this issue. Earlier in the year, Chinas Sany Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. announced its acquisition of Germanys Putzmeister, one of the worlds largest continued on page 50

ith the Tier 4 final emissions regulations coming into force in 2014, NOx emissions levels will have to be reduced even further. This is a challenging target for manufacturers of components making up a complete emissions reduction device. Proventia is introducing its AdBlue/ DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) mixing
unit SuperTornado, which provides an efficient and optimal mixing of the AdBlue/DEF in order to reach the required NOx target. Proventias new unit has been developed especially for Tier 4 final/Stage 4 requirements. With the SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology the challenge lays in an optimal injecting of the AdBlue/ DEF into exhaust gas, as in practice
the emission reduction target is over 95%, said Arno Amberla, vice president, Technology at Proventia. Efficient mixing of the DEF is essential, in particular at low gas temperatures, in order to reach the target. At low temperatures, evaporation and hydrolysis of the DEF play a major role in order to achieve even NOx reactions over the SCR catalyst.
These are the flow trajectories in the exhaust pipe. After a typical mixing length of 1 m, the flow uniformity index and NH3 uniformity index are designed to be almost equal.
Pioneering new technologies
Pioneering new technologies
Emissions
The new SuperTornado follows Proventias previous version, the Tornado AdBlue/DEF mixing unit, which was developed for Tier 4 interim applications. In the SuperTornado, there are two swirl flows creating a shear force on AdBlue droplets. Injection is in the middle flow. As evaporation proceeds, mixing takes place in the region between the inner and outer flow. After a typical mixing length of 1 m, the flow uniformity index and NH3 uniformity index are almost equal. With the SuperTornado mixing is up to 0.99 NH3 uniformity index. This will allow a higher NOx reduction by getting the most out of the SCR catalyst chemistry. The Proventia mixer also makes it possible to inject more AdBlue/ DEF into the exhaust gas. When an SCR process uses airless dosing of DEF/AdBlue, it can lead to mixing issues, especially in nonroad applications, Amberla said. With airless dosers, DEF spray droplets are larger in diameter and the mixing to the exhaust gas can be incomplete, which means that the required NOx reduction target cannot be reached. Also an even wall film formation or urea deposits are a potential risk. With our mixing unit injection of more DEF in lower temperatures over minimal pipe lengths can be done without compromising the mixing efficiency. Proventia spends much effort in tailoring and integrating emissions control systems to OEM engines and applications. For medium-volume OEM off-road manufacturers and engine manufacturers, Proventia offers complete solutions. A number of requirements are put on a mixing unit. It is important to deliver an even distribution of the ammonia. It should also help water evaporation from the DEF and ensure optimal reactions with ammonia without unwanted side effects. It is also important that a compact size and design of the mixer make it fit easily to most engines and applications. Proventia said its DEF mixing unit can be tailored to various applications, engine sizes and operating environments. We provide full-scale emission control knowledge by integrating expertise and design to engineer the exhaust aftertreatment systems in close cooperation with engine manufacturers. Here their own emission control concepts and certified components can be used, Amberla said. The systems are individually customized to fit the machine manufacturers applications and operating conditions. Proventia tests its mixing units at its engine and emissions laboratory, which is equipped with the latest emissions measurement equipment. It has two test cells with Horiba test benches for diesel engines up to 470 kW. For emissions measurement a range of analyzers are installed, including Horiba, AVL and Dekati. dpi

broad range of applications, including automotive, industrial, generator sets, stationary power systems and marine propulsion. What is known is that the new Doosan-built engines will not require a diesel particulate filter, which was apparently a key aspect of the decision to develop its own engine rather than continue to exclusively use engines from its longtime supplier, Kubota. With these additional engines, Bobcat will be a market leader in non-DPF Tier 4 technology, Goldsbury said. Our customers and dealers prefer it, and it minimizes long-term Tier 4 parts and maintenance expenses. In response to inquiries, Bobcat said the non-DPF solution is part of its Tier 4 strategy.

here were those who suggested that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 diesel engine emissions regulations would be just another set of standards and that their implementation would be a relatively minor blip in terms of the overall engine-powered equipment industry. The reality however has been that Tier 4 is subtly changing not only the technology, but also the landscape for many engine-powered equipment manufacturers and their suppliers. The latest case in point is Bobcat Co., which in October announced the path it will take to meet the Tier 4 final standards, a decision that will affect the power for much of its machine line beginning in 2014. That path will include an entirely new engine developed by its parent company, Koreas Doosan Infracore,
and a group of global engineering consultancies, including Ricardo and FEV. These new Tier 4 solutions combine Doosans 50 years of engine-building experience with Bobcats 50 years of compact equipment leadership, said Rich Goldsbury, Bobcat president. Add to that the combined experience of our other partners and you have more than 200 years of experience in engine design and development, and compact equipment expertise. There are few details available on the new Doosan engine, which the company said will be manufactured at a new compact engine factory in Incheon, Korea, situated near the companys existing engine building operations. Doosan has built engines since the late 1950s and currently manufactures diesel and gaseous fueled engines up to 844 kW for a

daily maintenance requirements and complexity, the company said. In discussions with Kubota, they could not offer this option. What seems also to have played a role was the fact Kubota, which has been a major supplier of diesels for many types of compact equipment over the years, began supplying engines to Caterpillar for 11 models in its Building Construction Products Division (BCP) product range earlier this year. Cat-branded Kubota engines are being used in Cats D series skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders and E series excavators, along with the 906H, 907H and 908H wheel loaders. As more manufacturers align with engine manufacturers or become direct competitors, it made sense for Bobcat to find a partner that isnt a competitor but rather part of the same organization to ensure supply capacity and responsiveness, Bobcat said. Doosan can provide the non-DPF solution Bobcat wants for Tier 4. However, Bobcat also said it would continue to use Kubota engines in some of its equipment. We have a good working relationship with them and will continue to use their engines in select machines, the company said. The first new 2014 machines to use the new Doosan engines will be the Bobcat 500 and 600 series skid-steer and compact track loaders. The company said some miniexcavator models will have the Doosan engines in early 2014 as well, while the 700 and 800 series skidsteer and compact track loaders would transition to the Doosan engine at a later date, when final Tier 4 requirements affect the engine sizes used in these machines. Over the next 18 months, Bobcat said it plans to release more details on the Bobcat Tier 4 machines and their engines.

Volvo has announced an expansion of its plant in Curitiba, Brazil, where it manufactures cabs, engines, trucks, bus chassis and transmissions.
Volvo To Expand In Brazil

By Mauro Belo Schneider
olvo CEO Olof Persson announced that Volvo will invest R$1 billion (US$500 million) in Brazil over the next three years in an effort to expand the companys business in the South American region. The investments include improvements at Volvos industrial park in Curitiba, Paran State, the introduction of a new truck brand, the debut of the new FH truck line in Brazil and Volvos entry into the light and medium vehicle segment. Currently Volvo manufactures primarily F and VM series heavy-duty trucks in Brazil. The company began production in Curitiba in 1980. Brazils Volvo is today an important part of the industry of commercial vehicles in the country, said Roger Alm, Volvos president in Latin America.
We manufacture in Curitiba the same models manufactured in Sweden, bringing the latest technologies to the Brazilian transport segment, exporting and generating foreign exchange to the country.

Capitalizing on this growth, New Holland announced, during the 35th Expointer Fair in Esteio, Rio Grande do Sul State, a new machine for the region: a combine for viticulture. The New Holland Braud harvester will be imported from France in time for the next grape season. The machine is already in more than 36 countries and can also be used for the harvesting of coffee and olives. The company said the Braud replaces the workforce of 70 people during the grape harvest. The focus in Rio Grande do Sul State will be in the city of Santana do Livramento. Northeast Brazil is a target as well because its a region where there is a high production of grape juice. The VX7090 model, which is arriving in Brazil, is equipped with a Fiat Powertrain Technologies engine rated between 113 and 131 kW, with six cylinders and common rail injection.

operation and rental market since 1979. Rocha said it was the first company in Brazil to use all-terrain cranes. The company has worked at several major job sites in Brazil including the 2016 Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Manitowocs general manager in Brazil, Mauro Nunes, said Guindastec is one of its biggest clients in the country. Its an enormous and important investment for the city of So Paulo. We are participating on it through our clients, which rent the cranes to the construction companies, he said. Along with the Grove GMK5220 crane working on the monorail, Guindastec owns another GMK5220, a GMK4100L, a GMK6300, a GMK 5170 and a GMK 5200, all from the companys all-terrain crane line. It also owns five National Crane 1400A boom trucks. Nunes said the equipment used in the monorail construction was imported, although Manitowoc recently opened a plant in Passo Fundo. Our production is developing, Nunes said. We might have a good production next year, which is going to be a complete year. Its not going to be a learning period anymore. We will begin the production of tower cranes in June. Thats a project we are working with the plants of Portugal and China. Its an expected investment of R$5.4 billion (approximately US$2.7 billion) in the Brazilian monorail.
New Holland has announced it will export its Braud harvesters from France to support Brazils growing wine industry.
new engine allows fuel economy of up to 35% thanks to its Intelligent System Management, the company said. The IntelliView III screen manages all the machines functions and is designed to consume just the necessary power to each operation. Besides having the ability of harvesting, it can be converted for spraying. Its the only such machine in Brazil, reducing costs for the producer because of its possibility of functionality to work during 12 months of the year, said Luiz Miotto, New Hollands product expert. The Braud has a bulk tank with a capacity of 4000 L. Its system of horizontal bats, which shakes the plant, is composed of flexible back fixations and a fast front coupling. Thus, the machine separates the fruit smoothly, allowing the calibration of intensity, what allows a selective or total harvesting, respecting the plant.
So Paulo To Get High Capacity Monorail

So Paulo will be one of the first cities in the world to have a high-capacity monorail. Each train in the project will have seven carriages and transport up to 1000 people. The line is expected to serve 500 000 people a day. It is expected that the first track, which will link the Vila Prudente
neighborhood to the Ptio Oratrio neighborhood, will be ready in 2013. When the line is finished, the route of 26 km between Vila Prudente and Cidade Tiradentes, which today takes around two hours, will be made in 50 minutes. Many companies are working to make it happen. The logistics company Guindastec, for example, has imported two Manitowoc cranes to do the job. According to Nilson Rocha, Guindastecs trade manager, the Grove GMK 5220 all-terrain model is responsible for the lifting of beams. The cranes have a 68 m seven-section boom. Today this is our greatest project in So Paulo and the second biggest in financial terms, Rocha said. The construction of the monorail started in January 2012. In the first stage, Manitowoc cranes have already laid 400 units of the track beams. In the second stage, the number could jump to 1600 beams. The monorail project represents a major transportation investment by the So Paulo Metro and the government of So Paulo, along with the government of Brazil. It reflects the governments push to utilize mass transportation as a way to accommodate the countrys rapid population growth. Guindastec has been in the crane

One of the greatest qualities of the plant, said the company, is its parts warehouse, which is three times bigger than the former one, located in Guarulhos, 100 km from Sorocaba. dpi
quality standard, said Osmar Piola, Marcopolos human resources manager. With more technology used in the products and processes, constant professional updating is required to keep the competitiveness. Piola said the investment would guarantee more quality, because the employees being trained will work in a scenario very similar to the real one. With the new center, people that are being trained will finish the training using the same templates used at the factory. Besides that, they will also learn to program and operate welding robots, identical to ones on the line. The company has also announced it is going to supply a social governmental educational program in Brazil, called Caminho da Escola, with 4100 school buses. Of this total, with delivery expected in 2013, 1500 units will be manufactured by the company in its Volare facility, in Caxias do Sul, and the other 2600 units may be manufactured by its subsidiary Ciferal Indstria de nibus in Duque de Caxias city, Rio de Janeiro State.
JCB Opens New Production Plant

JCB has invested US$100 million in Sorocaba, So Paulo State, to build a 3066 m2 plant where backhoe loaders and tracked excavators will be manufactured. At full capacity, the new plant will have the capability to produce 10 000 machines a year. The new factory replaces two smaller plants in Sorocaba, the first of which JCB opened in 2001 to produce backhoe loaders that was repaired and expanded and the second in 2010 to produce

Next great emissions challenge likely to be retrofit of legacy fleets to reduce black carbon
cus onto cleaning up legacy fleets of older vehicles and the specific danger some pose the emissions of socalled black carbon (BC) created by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, while predicting such emissions in the United States are projected to decline substantially by 2030,

As more advanced emissions controls are developed newer commercial vehicles are contributing less and less pollution to the atmosphere. That trend continues to shift the fo-
points out black carbon is a major component of soot and that most U.S. emissions of BC come from mobile sources (52%), especially diesel engines and vehicles.

emissions
based in Royston, England, believes that as advanced emissions controls come into force around the world, newer vehicles will contribute less to the overall pollution emitted globally. This means more attention should be paid to retrofitting legacy fleets, especially since he noted the emissions from older engines retrofitted with the right technology can have the same emissions levels as new engines. Walker addressed the subject at the 2012 Society of Automotive Engineers Heavy Duty Diesel Emission Control Symposium, which was sponsored by Johnson Matthey and held recently in Gothenburg, Sweden. Cleaning up the legacy fleet really will have a very large effect on reducing emissions, particularly as we look at some of the emissions that have not been the main focus in the past, Walker said. Traditionally, there has been a focus on tackling the emission of the criteria pollutants such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides. But there is an increased focus on black carbon. New vehicles in Europe will soon have particulate filters fitted as they have for some years in the United States and Japan, and the black carbon emissions from these systems are extremely low. However, the legacy fleets can produce significant black carbon emissions and one of the beauties of tackling such emissions, from a technology retrofit aspect, is that it has a very rapid impact on climate change because the lifetime of black carbon in the atmosphere is weeks rather than the decades associated with say, carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. Walker pointed out that there are challenges to overcome if retrofit program are to be implemented. There have been a lot of good and very successful retrofit program around the world and we have participated in a lot of those, he said. But the key to driving them is an acknowledgement that there is a pollution problem and that is often driven by inner city air quality. Some of the major drives against
city pollution have been associated with big cities such as New York, Tokyo and London. An acknowledgement of the problem is required as well as the technology to resolve it. Another consideration, however, is that although the technology exists to reduce emissions, we do also need to ensure that the technologies are going to be completely robust over the entire application cycle of a vehicle because with very cold duty cycles, it can be challenging to get completely robust filter regeneration. So part of the evaluation of the suitability of the fleet for retrofit involves temperature monitoring over a typical duty cycle to make sure we are confident the products will work over those cycles. The other aspect which is critical is funding. Someone needs to pay for retrofit schemes. It generally does need local government funding as it tends to be something that is cityspecific rather than countrywide when you look at targeting the urban emissions for example. Walker said there are significant opportunities for retrofit in the BRIC markets (Brazil, Russia, India and China), where there are often high levels of pollution in urban areas along with large fleets of higher emission vehicles. Yet to date, he said there has been little retrofit activity in those markets. The emerging markets for retrofit activity will be those areas which have not had significant retrofit activity to date such as Russia, India, China and Brazil, he said. Walker also said vehicles such as buses and trucks with retrofitted emissions technology can match the low emissions levels provided by new vehicles. For example, take the retrofit scheme associated with the Transport for London initiative, he said. It required retrofit systems to provide very high levels of particulate matter reduction which is equivalent to any advanced new emissions legislation in the world. dpi

Perkins unveiling a new Stage 3a compliant, electronically controlled diesel engine designed and built at Wuxi facility
1106C-70TA diesel, which will also be on display at the bauma China show. Alongside the new arrival, Perkins will also be exhibiting models from its 400, 850, 1100 and 1200 Series engine ranges. Two versions of the 400 series will be shown the Tier 4 interim 403D-15 and the Tier 4 final 404F-22, a four-cylinder, 2.2 L model that is naturally aspirated and produces 38 kW at 3000 r/min with 143 Nm of torque at 1800 r/min. Perkins said the Tier 4 final 854FE34T will be of interest for OEMs looking to downsize equipment while retaining peak performance of up to 55 kW. The engine has a Bosch common rail fuel injection system, wastegate turbocharger and aftercooler, all regulated by full authority electronic controls. At the top end Perkins is displaying its 1200 Series. The Tier 4 interim 1204EE44TA will be exhibited together with the Tier 4 final 1206F-70TTA, a 7 L, sixcylinder unit capable of producing 225 kW which, Perkins said, gives OEMs who may previously have chosen a larger engine, the choice of the same power from a smaller engine package. The launch of the engine at bauma China is the latest development by Perkins in Asia. It follows the decision earlier this year by the company to begin manufacturing its 4000 Series engines in India. Its new factory will be in the Shendra Industrial Area in Aurangabad with a completion date targeted for mid-2013. Initially it will have the capacity to produce around 3000 engines per year with the capability to increase to 5000. It is anticipated the workforce will grow from 60 employees to approximately 450 when it opens next year. dpi

n a move which underpins its presence in the country, Perkins will launch its first electronically controlled, Tier 3/Stage 3a compliant engine for the Chinese market at this years bauma China trade show in Shanghai. The unveiling of the 1106D-E70TA diesel is also something of a coup for the Perkins factory in Wuxi, China, as it is solely responsible for the engines design, engineering and manufacture. The 1106D-E70TA, 7 L, six-cylinder diesel incorporates a Bosch highpressure common rail fuel injection system, a single-stage turbocharger and is air-to-air charge air cooled. It can produce up to 205 kW at 2200 r/ min with a maximum torque of 1050 Nm at 1400 r/min. Perkins said the new engine offers OEMs a seamless transition between mechanical and electronic as it shares a common platform with its sixcylinder mechanical counterpart, the

INDUSTRY NEWS & ANALYSIS

The recently announced acquisition of Austrias Steyr Motors by Chinese investment group Phoenix Tree HSC Investment (Wuhan) Co. Ltd. (PTC) will allow broader global market opportunities for products such as Steyrs new SE series marine engines.
The Shape Of
Things To Come?
Steyrs acquisition by Chinese group seen as another example of takeovers merging Western technology with low-cost production and new markets
By Ian Cameron
tefan Hasper is a very busy man. He is a dealmaker and the managing director of GCI Management Consulting GmbH a company takeover, merger and financing consultancy based in Germany. Hasper is currently handling several different Chinese investment groups that are looking for investment opportunities in Europe. In one recent week, he had several meetings and site visits with different Chinese parties looking for takeover prospects in Germany. His Munich-based company was also instrumental in advising on the takeover of Austrias Steyr Motors by Chinese investment group Phoenix Tree HSC Investment (Wuhan) Co. Ltd. (PTC). GCI specializes in offering consultancy advice and has established deep-rooted business contacts in the emerging markets, especially China and India. It was responsible for making the contact between Steyr Motors and PTC.
And Hasper is convinced several more takeovers of highly engineered, high-tech manufacturers are in the pipeline as the deals offer a perfect opportunity to bring together Western technology and know-how with lowcost Chinese production and the huge sales potential for products in China. The highly increasing demand for low-emission diesel engines in China can currently not be covered by Chinese engine manufacturers, Hasper said. Steyr Motors develops engines at the highest technical level, but was so far mainly able to produce its engine range in small series. Through the partnership with the Chinese investor PTC the company now gets a direct market access to the Chinese market as well as modern local production sites for volume production. The Chinese investor mainly convinced the Austrian company through its strategic vision and detailed market knowledge. Asked if he anticipated similar acquisitions of Western engine/engineering
companies by buyers from emerging markets in the near to medium term, Hasper was unequivocal. Yes, because I am already in contact with other Chinese investors which like to invest in Western engineering companies, he said. Engineering is the basis for quality products with the newest technologies. GCI had the role of the classical mergers and acquisitions adviser in the deal. We initialized the transaction because we knew what the Chinese investor was looking for and screened the market for a right target, Hasper said. Then we managed the whole transaction from the first meeting until the closing and co-ordinated the legal advisors. Our task was to make the deal happen. This means we had to find a solution for all topics and challenges that were acceptable for both parties and you can believe that a transaction between China and Austria has a lot of challenges. The positive response to this deal is already very high and I am sure we will get into contact with a lot of European companies that are looking for a Chinese investor. Also the Chinese investors that are expanding to Europe have a high inquiry for experienced mergers and acquisitions advisers that understand their needs. Hasper denied that the sale to PTC was a result of the increased pressures placed upon engine builders by more intense emissions regulations. No it wasnt, he said. But the more intense emissions regulation is a good chance for Steyr Motors to get new customers and new markets. So why did Steyr decide to sell? On the one hand, the succession of the main shareholders should be arranged, because there is no solution in the family, Hasper said. On the other side, the shareholders wanted to improve the competitiveness of Steyr Motors. Therefore they searched for a strong partner to explore new markets. The big attraction for companies such as Phoenix Tree to buy compa-

nies such as Steyr is the high quality of products, excellent engineering and the fact that the diesel engine industry in China is a strong, growing market. The Steyr Motors agreement saw the shareholders of the Austrian company and PTC close a purchase deal involving Steyr Motors GmbH and subsidiaries, including Steyr Motors North America Inc., Panama City, Fla. Steyr Motors, whose major shareholder is Prof. Dr. Rudolf Streicher, specializes in the development and production of high-power diesel engines for a range of applications including light armored vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, hybrid trolley buses and marine pleasure craft and workboats. Steyr said it has now set itself a new goal of expanding its engineering and production volume in Steyr, Austria, with the Heat, cold, dust or mud a Hatz diesel engine can help of PTC.

specialist and in parallel to grow it into a leading diesel engine manufacturer in the mass markets. The Steyr acquisition is the latest in a series of takeovers of European engineering companies by Chinese investors. Earlier this year, Chinas Sany Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. announced its acquisition of Germanys Putzmeister, one of the worlds leading concrete machinery manufacturers with Aichtal, Germany becoming Sanys new headquarters for concrete machinery outside China.
To be able to stay competitive we need new, potential distribution channels and markets providing fast and sustainable growth. Based on our experience and due to intensive market research this is only possible together with a strong, local partner. - Prof. Dr. Rudolf Streicher, majority shareholder, Steyr Motors
In January, Chinese construction and farming equipment giant Shandong Heavy Industry Group Weichai Group announced it had reached agreements with the major creditors of the Italian luxury yacht maker Ferretti Group to acquire a controlling interest in the company.
These countries have strong growing markets, therefore they are looking for fitting technologies, Hasper said. If they do not want to be dependent on the Western world in the future, they have to get more engineering power. The fastest way to get it is to invest in companies that already have it. dpi
